Cardiff City: The Premier League have to wipe our result against Crystal Palace

WE WANT THE RESULT WIPED: Cardiff want Crystal Palace's 3-0 victory at the Cardiff City stadium on April 5th to be wiped after Palace allegedly got hold of the Bluebirds team-sheet the day before the match [GETTY]

The Premier League have launched a probe into Cardiff claims that Palace broke the rules by obtaining their team line-up a day before the game on April 5.

Relegation-threatened Cardiff also allege that Palace boss Tony Pulis knew his sporting director Iain Moody was trying to get details of their team from staff at his old club.

Moody was sacked from his role as head of recruitment at Cardiff in October, in acrimonious circumstances.

Cardiff also insist they have proof to back up their claims that Moody's alleged actions broke Premier League rules and insist the result should not be allowed to stand.

“The Premier League have launched a probe into Cardiff claims that Palace broke the rules by obtaining their team line-up a day before the game on April 5”

Palace deny any wrong doing and Moody has dismissed the allegations as 'incredibly, extraordinarily untrue.'

A Premier League statement said: "The Premier League has received a formal complaint from Cardiff City and will now investigate the matter."

Despite being tipped off about the alleged leak Cardiff boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer decided not to change his team.

Cardiff have already sacked one employee - understood to be performance analyst Enda Barron - after carrying out their own investigation, which included checking phone records.

Though the nature of the complaint is unusual Premier League officials are confident of resolving it swiftly.

The three points at Cardiff have helped Pulis's side reach their 40 point Premier League safety target.

But Cardiff remain deep in trouble, second from bottom and three points from safety with just four games left
